Kids Understand More Than You Think
The other day, my brother was talking to my niece. He asked her, “What are you?”
She answered, “I’m a girl.”
He continued, “What’s Nana?”
“Nana’s a girl.”
“What’s Papa?”
“Papa is a boy.”
Then he asked, “What’s Chacha?” (That’s what she calls me.)
And without hesitation, she said, “Chacha is a they them.”
Isn’t that the cutest?
It’s Not Complicated—It’s Just Love
She didn’t struggle to understand it. She didn’t need a debate. She just recognized me for who I am—because kids are way better at this than adults.
So no, it’s not confusion. It’s not indoctrination.
It’s just love and family. That’s it.
